COLAS SOUTH AFRICA pioneering road surfacing products and technology for Residential Estates and Developments

The road network within an estate has a functional and aesthetic value , and both directly influence the overall perceived value of properties in the estate .
Without a maintenance program in place , roads will deteriorate to a point where the only option is to resurface them entirely , which can be very costly , time consuming and will inconvenience residents .
Estate Challenges
• Road ownership and responsibilities
• The costs associated with repairs , replacement and maintenance of the roads
• Potential damage to driveways and curbs
• Environmental concerns
• Lengthy disruptions to traffic and access to properties
Colas solutions offered countrywide
• We have introduced a range of alternative products and solutions that specifically solve a number of issues that arise in residential estates , such as crack sealing , pothole patching , asphalt rejuvenation and micro surfacing .
• For each estate or development we tailor a proposal for maintenance and rejuvenation and offer on-site troubleshooting and advice throughout the process .
• Our products are designed for the Estate environment and we work closely with management to optimise traffic management and the impact of disruptions .
• We protect property driveways and curbs to keep them clean , and manage our whole process so that we have minimum impact on the environment around us .
A road network that is in good condition with an enriched colour makes a big difference to the overall look and feel of an estate . In addition , good and long-lasting road surfaces that can withstand extreme weather conditions and reduce potholes are a sound investment for any residential estate .
